Suburgatory Scoop: Tessa and Ryan... in Love?!

Tessa may have written off her fling with hottie-next-door Ryan Shay as a one-episode transgression on Suburgatory (Wednesdays, 8:30/7:30c on ABC), but word on the street is the unlikely couple may make another go of it later this season.

So what could possibly convince Tessa to reopen that “bag of chips”? We can think of six very good reasons, and Young gives us one more. “Her father, George (Jeremy Sisto), kind of takes Ryan under his wing and shows him the ropes,” Young reveals. “After a few lessons with George, Tessa might begin to see Ryan as a potential love interest again.”

In the meantime, Young says we can expect more of what we all love from Ryan: lots of awkward dancing — and very little clothing. “Every week it’s like, ‘Alright, give us some hip thrusts and horsey riding,'” Parker says. “For that barbecue episode, they pretty much told me to keep washing that car for five minutes without stopping. They called action and I just shook my butt, trying all these different things — drinking the water, scrubbing my abs, scrubbing the car — and it all sort of came together.”

Thoughts? Do you see super couple potential in Ryan and Tessa? Or does she deserve someone a little more IQ compatible? Hit the comments!

I think it’s hilarious because of the way she is so conflicted about it. But how will it play out with his sis & her friend Lisa who was SOOO against it? Maybe Lisa will steal something of Tessa’s and the police will be called again. :) Man I love this show.

Oh, come on. Just because he\’s not the brightest crayon in the box doesn’t mean he doesn\’t have other things to offer, and I\’m not talking about his looks. He’s very sweet and it’s pretty obvious he really likes Tessa.

And look at Scott. He seemed like a good match for Tessa on paper, but it he was boring and had no sense of humor, and Tessa herself said there was no spark. There was clearly a spark with Ryan. She wasn\’t into him when she first saw him despite his looks, it was only after they kissed.

NO WAY!!! I think Malik and Lisa should get together! I like the idea that no matter how high and mighty Tessa thinks of herself that she’s just a slave to her hormones like all teens. Not every teenager is 100% self aware and I love that she’s fallen prey to the hot boy… plus its sort of a slap to the “plastics” of the school who probably also find him gorgeous and he’s with the “lesbian”. I love this plan!!!

I like Malik/Lisa, plus it’s pretty clear Tessa has no interest in Malik. Although I wouldn’t say Tessa is a slave to her hormones, or even that most teenagers completely are. If she was a slave to her hormones she would have dated him initially despite thinking they wouldn’t work just because he was hot. Tessa saw Ryan before she kissed him, but she had no interest in him until they actually kissed. They have a spark that is not there with Scott, even though they are opposites. Scott was awful and Tessa thought he would be a good match for her, but she quickly figured out how wrong she was. And he was hot too, sooo, yeah. I’m excited for Tessa/Ryan, I think they may make a good match despite how different they are, like George/Dallas. I think it would add a lot to the show, and would connect the families even more. Plus, I can’t wait to see how Lisa reacts.

Am I the only one excited for this? I thought they made the most hilarious couple ever. She was so confused and he was just so dumbfounded. They’re complete opposites. I love it! But Malik is awesome too.

I definitely think it would be fun to revisit this pairing. Maybe not so much as a long-term thing, but for a couple more episodes might not hurt ;) They really were hilarious together.
I do not see Malik as a love interest at all. Not at this point anyway.

I’m glad to see they’re making this character more than “the hot guy next door” because he is hilarious! I think the writers could have a lot of fun with this arc, maybe even get Ryan closer to his sister. I’m loving this show, and great casting!
